Hi guys!
 
I was wondering how you all think COCC is going to be received and what the reaction is going to be considering 2020 has been such a controversial year for Lana... probably the most divisive and polarizing time for her and her career. I am super excited for the album but I am really curious to see what the public's reaction is going to be and how this whole era will unfold for her.
 
Thoughts?

Daily Fail 

they'll bring up QFTC, say she took a step back from the amazing progress she made with NFR and kiss jacks ass 

As for fans it could be another Lust For Life  

I think at least 70% on metacritic. But I think COCC will be a weaker album then NFR. Critics will likely praise the title track and the country/folk vibes but will probably pull her up for repetitiveness  with her themes and lyrics. 

i'm really unsure atm– i think it will have to be both up to par with NFR re melodies & lyrics and different enough from it to not get called a redux. i also think it'll have to be really something to earn back the public goodwill that she lost so much of over the past year, or at least to overshadow all that. since we have 0 sense of its sonics apart from LMLYLAW it's hard to know...i anticipate loving it, of course, but critics can be pretty finicky.

I feel like since she's working with Jack again it will be a great set of songs regardless but if it's not anything sonically different than NFR it will be criticized for that. It's too early to tell but LMLYLAW was pretty basic/meh.

I think it will be like LFL. Judging by LMLYLAW and Summertime (I bet she will put it on the album) it will be a "hate or love it" album. Some fans will hate it and others love it.

i think it might get acclaim like NFR! did or it will get generally favourable reviews
i think it will get 75+ on metacritic

Because of her recent controversies she’s already at a disadvantage in regard to its critical reception (there are always going to be a few biased reviewers). But honestly, LMLYLAW is an objectively good song and judging from the title track it seems like she’ll (hopefully) touch on some interesting themes. I also think it has the potential to pull good first week sales considering her resurgence in popularity.

My guess is it's not going to get the acclaim NFR did. I feel like with LFL and NFR, she clearly wanted to be validated by the critics but with COCC not that much.
 
I don't think the record is going to sound like Ultraviolence but I'm thinking it could end up being a similar situation where it's received poorly by the critics while being acclaimed by the fans, since she doesn't seem to be making compromises this time around.

I have hopes that it will outsell NFR, and even bring back a lot of fans to agree with each other about her newer music but who knows honestly. 
All I know is I'm impressed at this point and I think it will be different, but all completely in a good way. 
I also hope her message becomes more clear through this album, so we can stop getting so confused and fighting about what she meant on Instagram and all that. She has to put the work in and it seems like she's done that with the album so far. 

anything with Antonoff’s name to it will get favourable reviews most likely, especially following NFR’s acclaim. I don’t think it will outsell NFR, but it may out chart since it looks like there will be less competition (unless Adele or Lorde drop at the same time).

I think it could really go either way. I’m hoping for Chemtrails to be warmly received. She’s been on a steady incline in the critics eyes, and then shot through the roof with NFR. It would have to be really bad for them to rip it to shreds at this point, considering everybody praised the last record so much and it would call to question their own opinions I think. 

she looks beautiful & like an old movie star

Part of the reason why I enjoy watching Lana as a person is because she doesn’t conform to industry expectations and ideals and is firm in her own beliefs. It would be really boring for me if she had a social media team and all of her posts were run of the mill. I know that it’s disappointing when she doesn't stick to her word when it comes to release dates etc but at the end of the day I don’t want an album that isn’t done from her or any other artist.  A lot of artists don’t even let you in on the fact that they’re preparing an album.  I think she knows exactly what she’s doing announcing her album titles so early keeping a constant anticipation from listeners who really enjoy her.  She doesn’t actually owe her fans anything, we are all here by choice and it’s depressing seeing people get upset over a popular artist not releasing an album quick enough for them.  
 
If she is tested negative as Chuck said and is showing up wearing a mask she thinks is beautiful then it’s really her prerogative and only putting herself at risk, she is entitled to do so whether it’s a bad look or not.  I think she has made it abundantly clear over the years that when it comes to people having a say on what she does or says- she doesn’t care in the slightest.  She is living for herself.  At times her communication isn’t constructed with any tact but anyone with the brain capacity to extend their thoughts a bit further than the surface can read between the lines and understand what she’s getting at.
